The major Open Source software projects are well supported,
continually developed, and peer-reviewed for software quality.
Costs incurred in using Open Source normally go toward skilled
IT support and expertise; possibly warranty and distribution.
Furthermore, many useful Open Source applications are wholly
effective on lower-end hardware; a feature which can lead
to a significant reduction in hardware expenditure.
Open Source software is particularly good at
running robust and reliable network servers. Contact
minihub to see how you can benefit from running a Debian-Linux
Open Source software server. |

Here to Stay: A Proven Model
While still a minority outlook, Open
Source software is increasingly gaining recognition and
being considered by mainstream business and governments
worldwide who recognise that Open Source software has a
positive role to play in the design of their information
systems. A broad range of applications are available, developed
with stability, security and performance in mind.
Apache
server, Samba,
MySQL,
Mozilla/Netscape,
Bind,
GnuPG
(PGP) are a sample of Open Source applications that
are widely used and accepted, some as benchmark products
of their kind. Apache server, for example, is run by over
50% of webservers in the world.

At Minihub, we choose projects which
are highly reputable and demonstrated to follow quality
